Psalms 112

1 Hallelujah. Happy is the man that feareth the Lord, that greatly delighteth in his commandments.

Praise ye Jah! O the happiness of one fearing Jehovah, In His commands he hath delighted greatly.

2 His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the upright shall be blessed.

Mighty in the earth is his seed, The generation of the upright is blessed.

3 Plenty and riches shall be in his house, and his righteousness shall endure for ever.

Wealth and riches [are] in his house, And his righteousness is standing for ever.

4 There ariseth in the darkness a light to the upright: he is gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

Light hath risen in darkness to the upright, Gracious, and merciful, and righteous.

5 Well will it be with the man who is kind, and lendeth: he will guide his affairs with justice.

Good [is] the man — gracious and lending, He sustaineth his matters in judgment.

6 Surely unto eternity shall he not be moved: in everlasting remembrance shall the righteous be held.

For — to the age he is not moved; For a memorial age-during is the righteous.

7 Of an evil report shall he not be afraid: his heart is firm, trusting in the Lord.

Of an evil report he is not afraid, Prepared is His heart, confident in Jehovah.

8 Well supported is his heart, he shall not be afraid, until he looketh on [the punishment of] his assailants.

Sustained is his heart — he feareth not, Till that he look on his adversaries.

9 He distributeth, he giveth to the needy: his righteousness endureth for ever; his horn shall be exalted in honor.

He hath scattered — hath given to the needy, His righteousness is standing for ever, His horn is exalted with honour.

10 The wicked shall see it, and be vexed; he will gnash with his teeth, and melt away: the longing of the wicked shall perish.

The wicked seeth, and hath been angry, His teeth he gnasheth, and hath melted, The desire of the wicked doth perish!
